I'm going to switch gears a little bit too. I'm going to draw on some of the comments you made in your opening statement.
I know that within this committee—there is no argument about it—I'm a feverish supporter of our oil and gas sector and a lot of the innovation that we've seen on both the Atlantic and west coasts, as they've tried to adapt new technologies in a more environmentally safe and sustainable manner, as you've said.
I recognize the innovation that we've seen there and the future innovation to come. You're right that it's not a stagnant industry, absolutely. It continues to evolve. The innovation is what continues to drive it. However, I'm also a big believer in recognizing patterns, shifts, and changes. You pointed to China and Saudi Arabia in your opening statement and the policy shift that we see within those countries towards their greenhouse gas emissions and their overall consumption of fossil fuels.
I just want you to elaborate a little bit on how you feel we can heed that signal and use it to help propel us to be a leader in new technologies that are going to keep us in front of the pack, as opposed to being a hanger-on or a straggler.
